To that end, after characterizing the scenario which underlies the changes in the pattern of social protection in the world and on the periphery of capitalism which allows the reordering post to social welfare policy , we discuss the debate that informs references and concepts in formulation of social assistance policy from the perspective of coping with poverty and targeting crucial aspect in vulnerability and social risk . Sustaining these benchmarks the analysis of social welfare policy in governments Luis Inacio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff of the current government in which we aim to investigate the fabric of a new cycle of development of social protection standard once again renews in differently , the dismantling of social policies has been happening in the last two decades of neoliberal orientation. The research has theoretical and documentary nature seeking to characterize the social programs and established relationships that corroborate the hypothesis that work that the current setting of social policies that elects the centrality in social assistance thickens processes of social reproduction via strategies to fight poverty without however, mean expansion of social rights and universal social policies on the idea of building a political emancipation of the subaltern classes . So , discussed the crisis of capital and refractions in the reproduction of social relations as a backdrop for understanding the mechanisms that drove changes in the social protection system and placed on the agenda for a reordering of social assistance . And we take as a basis for thinking about the centrality of the social assistance frameworks that focus on the policy which is : the prospect of fighting poverty and discuss the concepts of vulnerability and social risk adopted as a measure of focus and mystify the actual processes of exclusion derived from ownership deprived of socially produced wealth, and end by way of concluding remarks consider the assistance of Governments focus on Luis Inacio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff . / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar as tendências da política de assistência social no Brasil na contemporaneidade. Para tanto, após caracterizar o cenário em que se fundamenta as mudanças ocorridas no padrão de proteção social no mundo e na periferia do capitalismo o que possibilita o reordenamento posto para a política de assistência social, discutimos o debate que informa os referenciais e conceitos presentes na formulação de política social de assistência na perspectiva de enfrentamento à pobreza e focalização com aspecto crucial nas vulnerabilidades e risco social. Sustentando nesses referenciais a análise da política de assistência social nos Governos Luís Inácio Lula da Silva e no atual Governo de Dilma Rousseff em que temos como objetivo indagar a tessitura de um novo ciclo de desenvolvimento do padrão de proteção social que mais uma vez reatualiza, de maneira diferenciada, o desmonte das políticas sociais que vem acontecendo nas últimas duas décadas de orientação neoliberal. A pesquisa tem natureza teórica e documental procurando caracterizar os programas sociais e as relações estabelecidas que corroboram com a hipótese que trabalhamos que a atual configuração de políticas sociais que elege a centralidade na assistência social adensa processos de reprodução social via estratégias de combate à pobreza, sem contudo, significar ampliação de direitos sociais e universalização das políticas sociais na ideia de construção de uma emancipação política das classes subalternas. Assim, discutiu-se a crise do capital e as refrações na reprodução das relações sociais como cenário para entender os mecanismos que impulsionaram mudanças no sistema de proteção social e colocou na ordem do dia um reordenamento da assistência social. E tomamos como base para pensar a centralidade da assistência social os referenciais que incidem na política quais seja: a perspectiva de combate à pobreza e a discussão dos conceitos de vulnerabilidade e risco social adotados como medida de focalizar e mistificar os reais processos de exclusão derivados da apropriação privada da riqueza socialmente produzida e, pôr fim, à guisa de considerações finais consideramos o enfoque assistencial nos Governos de Luís Inácio Lula da Silva e Dilma Rousseff.

Through the globalization of economy, alleviating poverty has become one of the pivotal issues within social policy arrangement agendas for many countries all over the world. One of the primary and rifest instruments of the alleviation process is social assistance programs. It is an apodictic fact that the proportion of social assistance disbursements within general budgets of the states have been gradually increasing during the recent years. This situation is also true for Turkey. In this context, to what extent citizens steer away from poverty as the result of all these assistances and to what extent social assistance programs are effective on reproduction of poverty becomes a major question. . The basic objective of this study is to search for and understand the impact of social assistances provided by the state in Turkey on behalf of reducing the poverty conditions of the beneficiaries. The study is based upon a qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with beneficiaries of Altindag Social Assistance and Solidarity Foundation in Ankara, Turkey. As a result of the study, it is observed that even though distributed assistances are found insufficient by beneficiaries, they have some significant impacts on reduction of poverty. It is understood that the distribution process itself reveals some key problems of the social assistance program of the state such as inefficient defition of poverty and the poor and creating a feeling of dependency for the beneficiaries. The socio-economic factors creating poverty of the beneficiaries are not well defined in Turkey. . In line with this finding one striking inference is that the assistances may cause a kind of culture of poverty for a group of beneficiaries. Besides, assistance may have more impact on women&rsquo / s poverty as the women beneficiaries have a higher tendency to identify social assistance as a vital part of their survival while men beneficiaries identify social assistance as support to family. In terms of cash and /or goods transfers the beneficiaries identified transfers of coal, food and cash as very effective and essential for their survival, though the amount especially of cash transfers was less than required. All in all, as a concrete policy suggestion social assistance programs in both cash and in goods are effective for the reduction of poverty of the poor groups however it is not a total solution to create a take-off effect for the beneficiaries out of their poverty condition. The thesis suggests that social assistance programs should be improved in terms of accessibility and defition of poverty and the poor.
